Free time and leisure

Yesterday and today

A group of actors, directors and professionals opened the Teatre Lliure to the public on 2 December 1976, at premises in the Gràcia neighbourhood rented out to a consumer cooperative (La Lleialtat). Ever since they have seen theatre as a public service, with an attitude of ethical and aesthetic commitment linked to the present.

The Lliure opened a new, modern, well-equipped venue in 2001 on Montjuïc, in the old Palace of Agriculture. It has the Sala Fabià Puigserver, a multipurpose hall with seating for an audience of 720 and good technical fittings, and the Espai Lliure, for an audience of 172. The old venue in Gràcia has also been renovated, without losing its cosy, close feel that makes it so special for actors.

The Kompanyia Lliure

The 2013-2014 season saw the setting-up of La Kompanyia Lliure, with a core of actors who, because of their ages, correspond to what sociologists have called the “lost generation”, in other words, highly educated people who encounter numerous difficulties in finding work.
